The Final Horn: State 75, Southeastern Louisiana 68
November 15, 2025 | Men's Basketball
THE BOTTOM LINE: Mississippi State got back on track with a 75-68 win over Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday afternoon at Humphrey Coliseum. Through a tight first half, MSU grabbed a 40-35 lead heading into the locker room. In the second half, State led by as much as 17 points before the Lions began to crawl back, cutting State's advantage down to six three times in the final 1:24 of the game. But each time, the Bulldogs were able to answer to improve to 2-1 on the year.
State is now 37-4 against non-SEC opponents during the regular season under Chris Jans.
KEY NUMBERS: Shawn Jones Jr. led the Bulldogs in scoring, notching a career-high 17 points on the day and knocked down three triples in the process along with six boards and three assists. Josh Hubbard finished with 15 points and four dimes for the contest. The Bulldogs outrebounded SLU (0-4) by a 43-33 margin, also recording 18 assists as a team.
NEXT UP FOR THE DAWGS: Mississippi State will travel to Kansas City, Missouri for the Hall of Fame Classic where it faces Kansas State on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on Peacock.
